Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq’s Galen Translations and Greco-Arabic Philology
The author shows, from Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq’s translations of Galen’s Crises and Critical Days, and borrowing a scheme from Sebastian Brock, that Ḥunayn’s translation style was “reader-oriented,” in which he added whatever he thought necessary to help his readers understand the text and its complex subject matter, rather than “text-oriented,” which adhered closely to the original. Using several examples classified in a working typology, the author sh…
Rational and Empirical Medicine in Ninth-Century Baghdad
The article considers a brief catechistic presentation of a Galenic medical doctrine, the critical days, by the 9 th century translator and thinker, Qusṭā ibn Lūqā (d. 912/3), found in a manuscript in Iran. The piece is first shown to have been derived from Galen's treatise on the critical days. Then, it is discussed section by section, in commentary form, to elucidate the medical doctrines Qusṭā propounds. Lastly, the piece is compared with an e…
Approaches to the Critical Days in Late Medieval and Renaissance Thinkers
Galen’s astrological doctrine of the critical days, as found in his De diebus decretoriis ( Critical Days ), Book III, was at the center of a long discussion in the Latin West about the relationship between astrology and medicine. The main problem was that Galen’s views could not be made to square with the prevailing cosmology, which derived both from Aristotle and Abū Maʿshar. The views of selected Latin thinkers concerning the critical days, fr…
Hagar Banished
The Aldine edition of Galen’s works, prepared by humanists anxious to replace the medieval Latin translations with a purely Greek text, certainly represents an advance in scholarship. However, widespread anti-Arabic prejudices of the time precluded most humanists, including the Aldine editors, from perceiving anything of value in the Latin Galenic textual tradition, which was characterized as representing a Galen that had passed through the corru…
Galen and Astrology
The author examines the question of Galen's affinity with astrology, in view of Galen's extended astrological discussion in the De diebus decretoriis (Critical Days). The critical passages from Galen are examined, and shown to be superficial in understanding. The author performs a lexical sounding of Galen's corpus, using key terms with astrological valences drawn from the Critical Days, and assesses their absence in Galen's other works. He compa…
Changing toddlers' and preschoolers' attachment classifications
The Circle of Security intervention uses a group treatment modality to provide parent education and psychotherapy that is based on attachment theory. The purpose of this study was to track changes in children's attachment classifications pre- and immediately postintervention. Participants were 65 toddler- or preschooler- caregiver dyads recruited from Head Start and Early Head Start programs. As predicted, there were significant within-subject ch…

The Circle of Security project
The Circle of Security intervention protocol is a 20-week, group-based, parent education and psychotherapy intervention designed to shift patterns of attachment-caregiving interactions in high-risk caregiver-child dyads to a more appropriate developmental pathway. All phases of the protocol, including the pre- and post-intervention assessments, and the intervention itself, are based on attachment theory and procedures, current research on early r…
Transfer in Category Learning of Young Children
An investigation with normal pre‐school children is reported which confirms and extends earlier findings on subnormal subjects. That transfer is related to the complexity of intervening training is again demonstrated across widely different tasks. In addition, evidence is offered for the interaction of overlearning with complexity, and the possible relevance of transfer in cognitive development is briefly discussed
Age and Perceptual‐motor Transfer in Imbeciles
Earlier work with imbecile subjects suggested a relation between low chronological age and amount of transfer, in the manner suggested by McGeoch and Hebb. It remained possible, however, that adults were nearer their ultimate limits and had benefited from the transfer processes earlier in life. It was necessary therefore to evolve a method enabling a fair comparison to be made between children and adults. Task complexity was thus adjusted either …
Width of Transfer and Task Complexity in the Conceptual Learning of Imbeciles
This paper offers further evidence on the relation between task complexity and amount of transfer, using imbecile subjects. The main aim of the investigation was to determine whether transfer might occur between widely different tasks, requiring some degree of conceptual behaviour for their performance. The transfer task consisted of photographs of objects within five common categories; three different training tasks of varying complexity require…
